The Jedi of the Galactic Republic were commonly equipped with grappling spike launchers during missions. These liquid-cable launchers were developed by the quartermasters at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. They were also standard-issue for clonetroopers during the Clone Wars[1] and the stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire. Luke Skywalker used a grappling hook found in his stolen stormtrooper armor to swing him and Princess Leia Organa across a chasm on the first Death Star[2]. Scout troopers were also equipped with fibercord grappling hooks.

The Princess of Bright Tree Village Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka was known as the best Ewok on fighting with a grappling hook.[3]

The bounty hunter Boba Fett was known to equip his Fibercord Whip with a small grappling hook for use in capturing bounties.[4]

The Feeorin pirate Nym was also known to use a grappling hook.
